Update Information:
A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in pycrypto leading to
arbitrary code execution. All users of pycrypto's AES module that allow the mode
of operation to be specified by an attacker, check for ECB explicitly and create
the objects without specifying an IV are vulnerable to this issue. This is
CVE-2013-7459.
